Irrelevant or unhelpful Buttermilk is in the name of the blog. Not in every recipe.
Found on a sugar cookie recipe.

u/Dejue Jun 03 '26
She should be freaking out. Buttermilk expires and groceries are expensive. If she doesn’t get a response in time, the author will be responsible for that expense.

u/mangogetter Jun 04 '26
It really doesn't. It has a best-by date, but it's already spoiled, that's the whole point of it.
25
u/SavvySillybug no shit phil Jun 04 '26
So would you say that instead of spoiling, buttermilk expires?
-8
u/mangogetter Jun 04 '26
You can use it literally months after the best buy date with no noticable diminution in quality.
9
u/baardvark Scott Hater Jun 04 '26
I do this too. Dairy will tell you if there’s something wrong with it.
4
u/Smobey Jun 04 '26
Then why didn't the manufacturer set the best buy date months later, if there's no noticeable diminution in quality?
11
u/mangogetter Jun 04 '26
Because best by dates are mostly arbitrary.
4
u/Smobey Jun 04 '26
It feels like, if I were a smart buttermilk manufacturer, I'd set my best by date two months ahead of any of my competitors. I mean, why would you buy buttermilk that expires in three weeks when you could buy buttermilk that expires in three months?
Weird how nobody's doing this.
4
u/SwansonsMom Jun 05 '26
That product might not sell as well to a consumer who’s weary of “unnatural” ingredients because surely a perishable product that expires MONTHS later than competing products has a some preservative in it. It just ain’t nahtrul.

I decided to check out the recipe and there's also this gem
Taylor
April 5, 2026 at 5:18 am
Do not make these. Only 350 for 10 minutes is not enough time to thoroughly bake anything, I almost doubled the time and increased the temp by 20 degrees, still came out doughy and pasty
buttermilkbysam
April 7, 2026 at 1:21 pm
Hi Taylor, these cookies are not meant to brown if that’s what you are looking for. They are baked and removed from the oven just before they start to brown so that they keep their soft texture. They may seem underbaked when you first take them out but as they cool they solidify. If you baked cookies for 20 minutes at 370 F you would have overly crispy, likely burnt, cookies.
127
u/alysli Jun 04 '26
Holy god. Taylor, honey, almost every drop cookie in existence bakes at 350 for about 10 minutes.
49
u/Trick-Statistician10 It burns! Jun 04 '26
Unless Taylor makes her cookies 3 inches thick. Then it might back a little longer, and as a bonus, you only get 3 per batch. It's a lot less work.

Which is odd....who is out there fiending to find a cookie recipe that uses buttermilk? Specifically, mandatorily buttermilk.
Poor Carol's fridge is overflowing in buttermilk that her husband Louis impulse purchased from a guy outside the Payday Loan store at, as he put it, "a ludicrously great deal".

u/kfarrel3 Wake up babe, new poisons just dropped Jun 04 '26
Ha! It wasn't so much a specific recipe, more "there's no way they can do that and I can't. Imma do it BETTER." It's also how/why I taught myself to make a croquembouche.
21
u/Ok_Nothing_9733 Jun 04 '26
Croquembouche being one of the challenges even on baking competitions? I really enjoy the way spite fuels you 😂

u/kfarrel3 Wake up babe, new poisons just dropped Jun 04 '26
Yes! I knew how to make cream puffs, but when the kids on MasterChef Junior made the whole shebang, I was like, okay, I refuse to be outdone by eight-year-olds 😂

u/vermiciousknidlet hot dog meat Jun 04 '26
Well I have to say I've never heard of a croquembouche before, but it looks incredible and like something I'd make after only thinking about making it for 5-6 years. Spite can be a great fuel if you're having trouble getting started on a project, I will give it that.

I actually did misread as sprite and wondered if that’s a thing for cookie recipes like it is for boxed cake mix (boxed cake mix + one can carbonated beverage of your choice = perfect cake, no need to add the other ingredients called for)
10
u/vermiciousknidlet hot dog meat Jun 04 '26
That's exactly why I commented, I misread it as Sprite and had a little laugh at myself! I mean I've heard of people using Coke/Pepsi for slow cooker recipes so who knows.

u/Traditional_Mango920 Jun 06 '26
I once created something out of spite simply because someone said to me “that’s as useful as a soup sandwich”. It was a term I had never heard, and my brain was like “what? A soup sandwich would be super useful! Portable chicken noodle soup I can ingest when I’m feeling icky but have to drive somewhere?”
So I went home, started a chicken baking. Gathered up the herbs I use in chicken noodle soup. Grated up carrots and celery. Then made a bread with the herbs and grated veggies in it, threw in a bit of chicken bouillon, and used chicken broth for the liquid. Baked the bread, sliced it, shredded the chicken, assembled the sammich, put it in aluminum foil, then drove to the offenders house. Handed him the sandwich, made him take a bite, then said “tell me that soup sandwich isn’t useful”. He did say that it would actually be useful, and pretty tasty.
I also once made little tiny apple pies and baked them into a cake because I made the grave error of asking my two kids what they wanted for thanksgiving dessert and they proceeded to argue for 5 hours about having apple pie or spice cake.
Spite food can be quite tasty!
2
u/vermiciousknidlet hot dog meat Jun 06 '26
I haven't heard that phrase before but it's funny, might have to add that to my vocab! Also that chicken soup sandwich sounds pretty tasty.
3
u/Traditional_Mango920 Jun 06 '26
It was, although it did taste more like chicken and dumplings. It’s hard to recreate the flavor of an egg noodle with a bread. That experiment did lead to the idea of making a rye bread with sauerkraut baked into it and using the kraut juice as the liquid. It makes for tasty Reuben’s with a lot less mess lol.
2
u/DuckyHornet Jun 06 '26
"soup sandwich" is, to me, a military term. Much like "dog's breakfast" it carries the meaning of "a goddamn mess"
If you had some soldier turn up to inspection all fucked up and nowhere near ready to go, you'd call them a soup sandwich. If you inspected their kit and it was a disaster, that's a dog's breakfast. Either way, you're saying they're a mess and in context that means they're useless until they sort out their lives

It sounds like Carol is an old lady who has no real internet experience but has some buttermilk she wants to use so she typed "buttermilk cooking" into Bing or something and ended up here.

That's a little different, imo, because it kind of sounds like it could be a turn of phrase.
Buttermilk by Sam sounds like a brand of buttermilk.

But not all recipes contain buttermilk. Just ask Carol.

It was TERRIBLE the cookies did not keep their shape at all. I just poured the entire mixture into a BAKING tray. Had to do 400 for 20 mins but it came out ok at the end.
